Chapter 382: Who the Hell Are You?

To everyone's surprise, the martial energy blades vanished after contacting Jared's body.

"What the" Zachariah gasped, his eyes wide with shock.

The crowd was dumbfounded. They had never witnessed anything like it. An Internal Energy Grandmaster's martial energy attacks are incredibly powerful! How could they disappear without a trace?

"Do you think Jared used Golden Armor?" someone asked.

Everyone looked at the men from Iron Gate Academy, the only ones in Summerbank capable of using Golden Armor.

Noticing their reaction, Master Iron, head of Iron Gate Academy, awkwardly waved. "Hey, don't look at me like that! Golden Armor wouldn't withstand an Internal Energy Grandmaster's attack!"

Just two days ago, I'd boldly sought revenge on Jared. Now, witnessing his strength, I realize I'm unworthy of even challenging him.

"Any more tricks? Come on, I'm waiting!" Jared taunted Zachariah with a cold sneer.

Zachariah stared intently but didn't attack. A man in a hat, among the Jantz family's men, finally looked up at Jared.

Sensing the gaze, Jared turned. He saw it was an old man. [Remove the website promotion]

Ignoring the old man, Jared turned back to Zachariah. "Don't you want to avenge your son and daughter's family? Come on! I'm right here!"

Despite Jared's provocations, Zachariah just frowned. The explosion pill boosted my power, but it's not infinite. I'll run out of martial energy after two more attacks, leaving me vulnerable.

Noticing Zachariah's hesitation, Jared snorted. "Fine. If you won't move, I will!"

An explosive surge of martial energy charged the air. Like a tornado, it sent tables and chairs flying, and the arena crumbled.

The dust settled, revealing Jared standing atop the rubble, his energy still radiating. It was so powerful that Zachariah had to unleash all his remaining martial energy to block it.

Enveloped in a faint mist, Jared levitated, looking almost angelic. Zachariah's eyes filled with fear as he felt his martial energy rapidly draining, being sucked away. Before he could deactivate it, he was completely depleted.

"W-Who the hell are you?" he asked in horror.

Now I understand his taunts! He provoked me to absorb my martial energy! That's how he made the blades disappear!

"I am the person who will kill you!" Jared shouted, glaring down. To him, Zachariah was as good as dead.

"N-No You can't kill me" Zachariah's face paled. He stumbled backward, tripping over rubble and falling.
